On July 22, 2025, the "Exploring AI Large Models: Tencent Hunyuan Interactive Workshop" event was successfully held at Tencent Shanghai Riverside Tower. This joint initiative by Tongji University's International Student Office and Tencent brought together 48 international students from 26 countries including Germany, the United States, and India for a collaborative exploration of innovative AI large model applications and cutting-edge technology.

The event, themed "AI-Generated 3D Scenes," adopted a multifaceted approach combining science popularization lectures, interactive demonstrations, and hands-on workshops to guide students through the developmental journey and technological breakthroughs of large language models. Tencent's expert team introduced the core capabilities of the Hunyuan large model, featuring live demonstrations of real-time 3D scene generation from text input, showcasing dynamic interactions between text, images, and 3D models. During the practical session, students gained first-hand experience operating the system, witnessing the transformative "magic" of AI technology as textual descriptions morphed into three-dimensional models, profoundly experiencing the powerful creative potential of artificial intelligence.

The event featured exclusive access to Tencent Hunyuan Lab's advanced flight simulator, where AI technology generated realistic cockpit environments in real-time and dynamically adjusted parameters like weather conditions and flight routes in response to voice commands.

 

The event buzzed with excitement as students enthusiastically participated in the interactive sessions. Many remarked that the experience had not only expanded their understanding of artificial intelligence but also sparked a newfound interest in technological innovation.

CHATTHAN PUNCHARAT, a Thai international student from the College of Design and Innovation, created a distinctive 3D artwork during the workshop: "Drawing inspiration from the elegance of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain and the opulence of Thai traditional jewelry, I input the prompt 'jewelry design combining Thai golden pendants with blue-and-white patterns.' The AI then generated this piece featuring peacock-and-lotus motifs while preserving gemstone luminosity." She reflected, "This experience revealed AI's potential not merely as a tool, but as a novel bridge for cultural heritage preservation."

WU JOHNNY JUN JIE, a German international student from the School of Economics and Management, shared his insights: "The Tencent Hunyuan Large Model workshop allowed me to witness firsthand the groundbreaking advancements in AI technology. What astonished me most was its capability for real-time 3D scene generation through text prompts—this dynamic interaction between text, images, and models truly demonstrates the formidable potential of multimodal AI systems."

The International Student Office of Tongji University remains committed to building diversified learning and exchange platforms for international students. This collaboration with Tencent has significantly enriched students' extracurricular practical opportunities. Moving forward, the university will continue partnering with industry leaders to provide international students with more high-quality activities that expose them to cutting-edge technologies and broaden their horizons.
